Black Bolt #4

The fun part of this book was that I originally had developed some of the pitch as a mini-series around Crusher. Just around the time I was getting ready to pitch it to Marvel, editor Wil Moss came to me and said that since I have a background in science fiction and fantasy he was thinking about me for “Black Bolt.” I said, “It’s funny, because I have this back pocket pitch that I was going to send you.”

Then when we bounced these things off of each other they just immediately meshed. That’s where this story came from. So Crusher predates Black Bolt as far as Marvel characters I’ve wanted to write about. He’s a hero to me, even if he’s a villain. -Saladin Ahmed

"I gave my son away. I thought it would keep him safe.""Hey, that's not so bad.""I gave him to Kang the Conqueror.""Okay, that's pretty bad."HA! oh, man, Crusher's seen it all attitude is pretty great.
